Training | Entrepreneurial Intelligence

We all should develop Entrepreneurial Intelligence - in our work - in our home - in our communities. This may be the most important skill we can pass onto our children and future generations to come.~Ali Conquerre

The Argument for Entrepreneurial Intelligence

The most often question we get from business owners is:

"Why do we need entrepreneur training within our organisation?"

A totally valid question.

After all - they ARE already in business. They do not need entrepreneurs.They need better workers...

Better @... understanding their jobBetter @... doing their jobBetter @... at being part of the solution in the organisationBetter @... following orders or communication or driving or finance or...Better @... _________________________________________________________ (YOU FILL IN YOUR BLANK)

Often the next statements from those same business owners are:

if we can just get our workers to...

understand where the money comes from & how we spend it

understand what it means when they are absent from their job

understand how all these breakages impacts on the business

understand why we ask them to do ________________________ (X, Y & Z)

If we can just get them to... ________________________________________ (YOU FILL IN YOUR BLANK)

The truth is...

It is NOT about Entrepreneurial Training, but about Entrepreneurial INTELLIGENCE.

Reality

If we do not understand how a business operates, we cannot "just..." understand or get the big picture, and while our picture is this small part of the puzzle, we will probably never care about the whole and the bigger.

While we do not get the big picture, there will always be people with political agendas who will install THEIR version of the big picture into our culture - be that culture an organisation, a club, a community, a religious establishment or even a country.

And, WE, who do NOT know or understand the big picture, will believe the distortions and lies. BECAUSE, it makes sense to us.

How do we "get" the BIG picture & truth?

Not by manipulation or hidden agendas, but by being introduced to the full picture of what it means to run a business - and to run it successfully.

By being introduced to ALL the parts that makes up a business - not just MY part of it.

By building entrepreneurs within our own organisation.

Through the development of

ENTREPRENEURIAL INTELLIGENCE

- not only the knowledge part of it -

The danger...

You might create a culture of ownership within your organisation.Your staff might start asking how can this business be run better and more successfully.They may start holding themselves accountable.

But...

They might also start holding each other accountable - including management.

You might be challenged to be really involved with your staff and communicate - not just top down, but down up and sideways as well.

It might get a bit messy and uncomfortable for a while, but on the upside - it will get better and more productive at the same time.

You might be considered one of the best companies to work for by The Sunday Times annual business survey list.

It might just be a great, wonderful, revolution within your organisation.

80% of youth between the age of 18 & 35 in South Africa will not find a job soon - or maybe ever. This means we have to engage with building entrepreneurs as fast as possible - in our business and in our community. An entrepreneur can be as small as the fruit seller at the taxi rank, the local Spaza Shop, or somebody as big and internationally known as Sir Richard Branson.

If we are in business, we are entrepreneurs building and growing something. Ali & his tribe are entrepreneurs at heart and they share their lessons with passion to anybody who wants to learn and grow.

Ali loves to form partnerships with local NGOs, business and communities to train our youth in becoming entrepreneurs and creating their own destiny & thereby building the economy of the whole region at the same time.

Creating entrepreneurs - within the organisation & without - is the best way to build an economy, create jobs and take our youth off the streets. This brings stability to a region, as well as a country. As business owners we are in a position to make a difference.

Empowering out of school youth - the 18-35 unemployed bracket - means we help create jobs, while the business's BEE Scorecard benefits in 3 ways + skills plans look good and there are even tax rebates as a reward for building a better future for ourselves to.
